The 15mins time frame is showing that an inverted head and should pattern is about to form, which, in the long run, leads to a massive bullish run. In the next few days, the price should fall to complete the head and shoulder. If this is completed, the price could reach $339.98. The market opened yesterday after a gap-up but closed on a bearish note. The global market has been very bad this week. The next rally might just be what investors have been waiting for since the holidays are over. The RSI daily chart already shows that the price has been oversold. This could be the indication the bulls are expecting.
